🚨 ⚡️
New testimonies from recently released Palestinian detainees reveal the horrifying abuse endured by Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, who has been imprisoned by Israel since December 27, 2024.
Three former prisoners described a man physically and psychologically shattered by torture, starvation, humiliation, and relentless violence.
Ahmad Qaddas said he could barely recognize Dr. Abu Safiya because of how severely he had deteriorated.
He described him sitting for hours in a daze, barely able to speak, while prisoners helplessly listened to his screams during brutal beatings.
Anyone who tried to help him was reportedly punished with violent tear gas raids.
Another released detainee, Hamza Abu Omeira, said Dr. Abu Safiya suffered constant vomiting, was unable to keep food down, and was deliberately denied medical treatment.
Prisoners were reportedly shackled by both hands and feet for seven consecutive days.
Under torture, Dr. Abu Safiya was allegedly forced to repeat degrading insults about himself in an attempt to break his spirit and humanity.
A third witness recounted seeing him stripped naked after interrogation, beaten mercilessly, then attacked by police dogs that clawed at him and threw him to the ground.
All three witnesses warned that Dr. Abu Safiya may not survive much longer if he is not released immediately.
A healer who dedicated his life to saving others is now being slowly destroyed behind prison walls while the world watches in silence.
According to reports, Dr. Abu Safiya is one of at least 737 Palestinian medical workers detained by Israel since the beginning of the war.

People ask me: “How can they indict you for saying you took an ecstasy pill 36yrs ago in Australia? Are they mad?” No, folks, they are not mad. This has nothing to do with drugs, with the law, with anything related to my actual interview. It is a reflection of what has been happening to politics across the West, with Greek characteristics.
Unlike in most other European countries, where new ultra-rightist parties emerged to undermine the traditional centre-right party (e.g., the AfD in Germany, Reform in the UK, Meloni’s Brothers in Italy or Le Pen in France), in Greece the mainstream Tory-equivalent party (New Democracy) remains dominant in the polls and in public discourse.
The reason behind their success is that they kept the neofascists in their midst. Indeed, Mitsotakis, the PM, gave them top ministerial posts (e.g., Health, Migration) to keep them sweet. Keen to ensure that things stay this way, and that the neofascists do not form their own party, the PM has cut a deal with them:
The PM and his neoliberal mainstream faction monopolise financial deals with the local and global corporate oligarchy, economic policy more generally. In exchange, the PM has handed over to the neofascists the ministries engaged in rightist culture wars (migration, family law, health, the phoney war on drugs etc.). The latter then use their authority to appeal to their electoral base by ensuring that the Greek Coast Guard causes migrants to drown in the Aegean, that the police shield the fascists, and that people like myself are harassed and dragged through the courts.
In short, my ridiculous prosecution must be seen within the wider, West-wide, surge of an insidious new form of fascism. In this context, I am honoured by their determination to persecute me – as it grants me the privilege of calling upon people of good conscience, from around the world, to stand together, to oppose them. https://t.co/I1FOpsg8Rg
@meb tu ci ricordi sempre che, grazie al compromesso storico, i banchieri occupano l'ala di sinistra del Parlamento con aporofobia, mancanza di orizzonti e incapacità.
@AutogriLLocryp se non concedi niente a chi la pensa diversamente da te (e non stiamo parlando di temi come il razzismo o il fascismo ti sarebbe lecito avere questo atteggiamento) fai parte di una polarizzazione creata ad hoc dai media con semplici antinomie
@VadymVietrov ma che sei un ragazzino che da delle opinioni a caso? l'economia europea è crollata, è ininfluente, a questo punto, chi vincerà sta guerra per noi. Di sicuro la stragrande maggioranza degli europei preferisce #putin alla #vonderleyen o a quel pagliaccio di #zelensky.
@lucianocapone scrivi shameless (senza scuorno) baggianate per un giornalaccio con cui, qualche generazione fa, in molti non ci si sarebbero neanche annettati il culo. La tua è aporofobia e distorsione della realtà https://t.co/cIagPeGBVC
@SimoPillon che poi accettiamo di cattivo grado i divari che creano le democrazie liberali perchè tutto sommato riescono ad offrire svago e divertimento a basso costo, se ci togliete anche quello tanto vale ritornare in montagna con le pistole 3D a riscrivere la storia
@SimoPillon giusto per nutrire le mafie che si comprano pure la politica così ci ritroviamo a leggere le tue perle. legalizzare tutte le droghe significa consumo sano, meno morti, più cultura, un welfare decente per tutti e più sicurezza. ma che ne parlamm a fa cu te? ca si o problem
@ilfoglio_it ma sembra, in questa complessità, l'analisi di un ragazzino invasato religioso o di un ultras incel. ma possibile che non riusciate ad uscire dalla vostra polarizzazione e restituire alla società civile scale progressive di difesa?
